Willing you that Vergetius may be thanked for ye same, and told yt uppo’ mentio’ made of these, /// medagliees, we caused certan closetts and cabanettes of our fathers to be perused wh’in there have been found grete nomber of such monuments both in gold silver and copper, and amongst them very fayre monume’ts of the sayd Emp’ors.
